WAGE-REGSTERING APPARATUS FOR POWER-LOOMS AND TEXTILE MACHINERY.

Application filed March 1, 1911.

To all whom ii may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL Mansomxi, a subject of the Austro-l'lungarianEmperor, and resident of 37 Schmerlingstrasse, Briinn, Austriaellungary,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tage- RegisteringApparatus for Power-Looms ,and Textile Machinery, of which the followingis a specication.

My invention relates to improvements in an apparatus for registeringwages for mechanical looms and similar textile machines, and moreprecisely to an apparatus 'for registeringiV wages of the kind describedin my specications Serial No, 455187 filed Sept. 30, 1008 and SerialNumber 543387 filed February 11, 1910.

\Vith the known mechanism the successive interpolation of the unit disksfor composing any required wage may lead to inaccuracies hy reason ofthe close disposition of the rear wheels which have to he shifted for afraction of the division of their teeth.

Now the present invention has for its ohjectfto obviate the mistakes bythe arrangementof a wages drum for each monetary division of the wageupon a common axis, and of driving` all such drums from the same shaftwhich performs a revolution for an appropriate part of the unit of work(for example 1000 wetts or 1 meter), said shaft carrying rrear wheelswhich for the purpose of successive engagement of the wage rate drums,have differently' placed teeth at uniform distances on the periphery foreach monetary division. These wage rate drums are not only provided withteeth for the monetary divisions, lout they can4 also be driven ata ratecorrespondingto each of the latter. For example, when the Wage rate isdivided into tenths and for 1000 wefts counts 13.5 cents the pay wouldhe for said 1000 Wefts equal to 10-1-3 +05 cents. Reduced to units itwill mean that 100 wel'ts cost 1 cent, 1000 Wefts 3 cents and 10000wefts 5 cents in this example. For tenths of the wage rate, thecorresponding drum must be driven at a ratio of 1:10000, for units atthe rate of 1:1000 and for tenths 11100. Therefore, the transmission isthe same for 1:10 while from here the transmission teeth of the gearwheels are transposed by 0:3 to each other so that the successivemovement of the Wage rate drums takes place in a time interval ot' 3wefts and the Specification of Letters Patent.

collisions are thus effectually prevented. The present arrangement alsoprovides a weft counter, or a meter counter, as wel]V as an automaticZero-return device.

Various forms of construction of this invention areI shown in theaccompanying drawings, in which l Fi gure 1 is a longitudinal sectiontaken on the line A-A of Fig. 2, of one form. Fig. 2 is a crosssectionon the lineB-B of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on the line 'C-C otlFig. 1. Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section taken on the line DD of Fig. 5,showing a modification. Fig. 5 is a cross-section on the line E E ofFig, 4. Fig. 6 is a crosssection on the line FMF of Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is alongitudinal section taken on the line G--G of Fig. S. Fig. 8 is across-section on the line HsH of Fig. 7.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 3, each monetary division of wage is marked in a\vage-rate drum mounted on a common shaft 'with the' other drums forunits, tens and hundreds, which for 1000 we't'ts, or 1 meter, makes onerevolution. The movement is transmitted from the units-drum, by means ofgear wheels to the units-disk of the wages registering drum, from thetens-drum to the-tens` disk and from the hundreds-drum to thehundreds-disk of the wages registering drum. In this apparatus, thewheel 1 on shaft I is driven so that it makes one revolution for 10weits, or for 0.1 meter where the Wage is reckoned per meter produced.By the wheels 2, 3, l1, pawl 5 attached to the latter wheel, and cam 0of the intermediate wheel o; which is fast on the shaft I the latter isrevolved once for every 100 wefts, or 1 meter. Upon the shaft I arewheels g/ and .e which are fixed in such a manner as to have the teethai, y, 2 displaced to each other hy 0.3 of the periphery. ThecomiectionoI the-wheels 4 and m through the intervention of the pawl 5and cam G is such as to leave the counting mechanism unaffected for thebackward. turning o1' the pattern cylinder, or the yarn beam, thec'iunting beingr restarted only'when the weaving has advanced to thesame point where it was. In the present case, the withdrawal of the weftmay be as much as a hundred or 1 meter. The

wheel a' causes the rotation of theV hundredsi drum Th of'the wage-ratedrum through the intervention of the gear wheels 7 and 8, while y movesthe tensdrum TZ through the intervention of gear wheels 9 and 10. undmores the units-drum Te through wherh- 11 :lnd 1Q, uniformly Vtor every1000 wette or 10 llletels.

The apparatus Shown in Figs. 4 to (i is arranged so that theultits-drnn'l revolves once for every 10000 wette or 10 llleters, thetens-drum once tor 1000 wette or 1 meter, und the llllndieclsclrllnlonce for 100 wette or 0.1 meter.
